Merida (Macdonald’s voice) is a Celtic
princess with a wild mop of bright red hair, unerring success with the bow and
arrow and a burning desire for freedom. Her mother Queen Elinor (Thompson’s
voice) insists she behave like a proper princess and that she marry one of the
wooing lords. Major protests but the queen prevails. At the gathering of the
Four Clans the three first-born sons are presented as rivalling suitors who
must compete in games to win Merida’s hand. She cleverly claims to also be
first-born, chooses archery for the competition and easily wins her own
hand.Her mother the queen is outraged.
Merida runs away and magic starts happening. She meets a witch (Walters’s
voice).

It’s a clever fairy tale with a twist.
And those voice cast their very own spell.
